This paper also inspired the recent academic paper "Attacking Zcash Protocol For Fun And Profit" available at https://attackingzcash.com and on IACR: https://eprint.iacr.org/2020/627

It describes new kinds of metadata leakage attacks that can be launched against privacy coins, by adversaries with large budgets, such as professional criminal organizations, blockchain analysis companies and nation states. The privacy coin HUSH has developed this defensive technology and was first to implement it in September 2019.

There is a YouTube video where the author explains why he named the paper this way, this link has the timestamp where it's talked about: https://youtu.be/berM7Dnnoz4?t=405

"This is a whole new research field I am creating, that is why I called it Attacking Zcash Protocol For Fun And Profit, just like Smashing The Stack for Fun And Profit, it created a whole new field"

Also, for the hardcore HN nerds: The paper focuses on Zcash Protocol, but the ideas apply to any cryptocoin with a transaction graph, so Monero is definitely vulnerable. Much more vulnerable that Zcash Protocol.

I have read that Starlink, given sat to sat relays, should be able to beat any possible ground based system as long as the distances are great enough. Does that match your understanding of this?
I have to disagree, there are to many down votes on legit questions but they did not rephrase it properly or didn't show the proper code. It should be more help full, specially when you down vote, give a reason and solution or advice.

in later talks alan kay would say "the best way to predict the future is to prevent it" and i generally feel the same way...

it seems most commercial interests are interested in refining what already is, than building thind that are completely new (and who can blame them, its really risky to do so)
SpaceX continues to genuinely feel like a practical intellectual's playground. They really do have so many fascinating problems to work on.

Accurate orbital information might not be necessary or possible, if you can perform broad scanning that can quickly lock in your given target, but it certainly doesn't hurt. The issue is that even having an orbital track, because of the sats being so low in LEO, atmospheric drag will change your orbit rapidly enough that this information can get out of date quite fast.

Convenient and reliable fallbacks I feel are largely a solved problem for SpaceX. They've built their Starlink bus by reusing a lot of the software from the Falcon 9, Dragon, and Starship programs that already had to handle even greater levels of reliability.

Routing and retransmits are indeed quite a novel area for this kind of service. But the laser link will only be locked on one other peer satellite at any given time, and I don't think they plan on reorienting the sats in order to establish laser comms because of the effect it would have on drag as well as albedo. The former impacts service life per sat, and the latter has been a big rallying cry for Starlink opposition due to the impact it has on astronomy and the visible sky.

So if you likely can't reorient to retransmit, your only options are the peer laser link or the ground transit exit node, either or both of which might not exist, but I feel like you would just ack the packets on each hop to your peer and leave it at that.
I didn't specify those protocols for a reason. While that's technically true at the API level, I was referring to things like the “Sign-On with <service>” widgets – you can make a completely static version of that which doesn't use cookies but there is a nice UI improvement if the button can load and say things like “Login as @tootie” or “@tootie, you have 5 DMs” anywhere you see it.

Instead, I think we're going to recognize that this is too broad to be secured and either come up with ways to scope it down (e.g. requiring the third-party to have some sort of opt-in prompt) or that entire market category replaced with browser-controlled alternatives, which isn't great for companies other than Apple, Google, and maybe Microsoft but does have the appeal of not trusting an entity which the user isn't already trusting.

I agree with you (I have been following silicon fabrication news for 20 years already). I cringed when I saw people commenting on, say Intel replacing its CEO, or that RISC-V will replace ARM for design houses in the next few year, when it's clear the commentators haven't taken the time to do even a cursory research.

I don't even want to think of the comments I've seen for my main subject (cybersecurity, exploits, and vulnerabilities). I will never be able to correct all of them.

I think some humility would be nice for all of us. We know what we know and we should be aware of what we don't know. I don't know much about web programming, and I freely admit to it. I certainly don't pretend to have anything insightful to say about them.

Unclear. They do absolutely refer to their gun as, say, the "MP5" in-game.

Though, interestingly, in Modern Warfare (2019), many guns have two names; for example, the MP5 is also called SMG Charlie (as in, NATO phonetic alphabet for C). I kind of got the impression that it was laying groundwork for a long-term goal of removing the actual names of the guns; possibly due to licensing fees, or maybe to divorce the ugly reality of killing with video game killing, I don't know.

> It is technologically impossible to see votes being counted in real-time or to flip them

Dominion machines aren't on the internet. Dominion doesn't have centralized access to all of their machines.

Could they eg send out an army of technicians to every voting location and use some insane side-channel attack to physically read and flip bits from across the street? Sure. But by that logic it's also "not impossible" for you or I to launch the US nuclear arsenal.

I think saying that "it is technologically possible to see votes being counted in real-time or to flip them" is "technically correct" but obviously not actually correct in any reasonable sense.

I wonder when someone will make a great sounding one. I know this at first doesn't make much sense in a EV but it is one of the big(est) reasons one bike is chosen over others. See Harley Davidson for example. Being realistic about it HD doesn't have much going for them outside branding and sound; it is piss poor quality and very expensive, but they sound good and have great branding. The current electric motorcycles on the market are falling into the same trap as modern ICE motorcycles: they are for many reasons converging on the same style, sound and price. Many buy old vintage motorcycles for this reason and many of those that does not at least make sure to change the sound with a better exhaust. Sound is extremely important in a motorcycle. I for one don't think I would want one without it. It might be great fun but in my world it would be a very fun bike -not a motorcycle- without the soundtrack.

Procuring hydrogen, hydrogen fuel cells, or hydrogen storage is a bit of an unsolved problem. The infrastructure is simply not there. Also I don't think there are aviation rated fuel cells available yet. And storing lots of hydrogen under high pressure is also a bit of a weight issue for planes given it requires extreme pressures and heavy duty tanks. Also, there's the cost of fuel. Hydrogen is not cheap. Electricity is.

And that's before you consider the infrastructure. A battery can be plugged in anywhere you can get electricity. Which is pretty much everywhere. Hydrogen requires (currently) non existent supply chains, transport, storage, pumping, etc. infrastructure.

There are some decent batteries on the market and better ones are on the way. Also, there's a difference between shoving a tonne of battery into an existing plane and using e.g. structural batteries to strengthen the fuselage of a purposely designed plane. So, yes, you should expect some improvements in range with the coming few years as technology, designs, and thinking evolves. I think 2-3X range improvement is basically a given in the next 15 years or so. Current electric planes actually flying use technology that was certified years ago (it's a slow process) that are hardly state of the art at this point.
It is highly apposite that you should mention a Gish gallop in your earlier post: Duane Gish's combination of rhetorical ploys intended to persuade uninformed people that evolution hasn't happened. It includes a combination of burden-shifting, not answering awkward questions, introducing non-sequiturs, and attempting to change the subject, all of which you have already been employing, and which you are now intimating that you intend to continue with.

A Gish gallop is not, of course, a sound way to arrive at any sort of truth. Anyone employing the technique is either unaware of that, or is being duplicitous (my guess is that Gish never really understood that it is bogus.)

Meanwhile, those questions are still waiting to be milked, so to speak...

I'm not ignoring these at all, and it should be clear where these lie on Maslow's hierarchy versus shelter, healthcare, and earning potential (education) [1]. Mortgage rates being low only means you're bidding up scarce assets further by borrowing with the little income you have. This attempts to sell affordability in the same way a car dealer salesperson sells you on the payment, not the price.

Not necessarily. Assume that people try to self-quarantine as soon as they notice symptoms. (They don't need to be 100% effective at this.) Consider "mutations that affect how quickly it spreads within your body". Those that increase said efficiency would presumably increase the likelihood of death; but they would also probably shorten the "asymptomatic spreading" period, which means they'd get selected against; this selection happens even among those that aren't dying.

The reality is, there are always ballots that fall in a grey area. That's being exploited to sow doubt in the uncertainty of an entire election.

I submit it COULD happen there, too. Votes being counted by local authorities, making judgement calls, and the plan being to announce the preliminary results if the election is "clear" that night.
